The 24-year-old from Prince George, B.C., held off Australia’s Belle Brockhoff in the big final to claim a place on the podium.

Lindsay Jacobellis of the United States won her first gold medal in five Olympic Games, in a redemption story after winning an upset silver at the 2006 Games in Torino and missing out on a medal in every subsequent Olympics until Beijing.
